In 2016, a Russian military passenger jet crashed on its way to Syria, killing 92 people, including military singers, dancers and entertainers.

Officials said the aircraft crashed at Russia's Hmeymim air base in the war-torn Middle Eastern country's Latakia Province. Earlier last month, Russian domestic passenger plane had crashed in Moscow minutes after taking off from Domodedovo airport.

Interfax quoted a spokeswoman for Russia's Investigative Committee, which handles high-profile cases, as saying Russian investigators have been dispatched to Syria to look into the crash. US forces last month may have killed more than 200 Russian mercenaries who attacked a base held by mainly Kurdish troops, though Russia has denied any official involvement in that clash.

It says the plane went down about 500m (1640ft) from the runway.

The military base of Russian Federation in Syria is located the d near Mediterranean coast. The pilot reportedly ejected over an area controlled by militants.
